Yes. The insatiable goal of lower cost on industrial models means that most commercially applied technology explores only the visions that seem most amenable to total automation. I do get why some people think that's a good thing. I just don't think it's good for the technology, the business, or much of anything except a few temporarily pleased bean counters. As I said in another thread, complete automation is not Nirvana. That's hell. Whatever your religious proclivities, hell is worth fighting. Thanks, -- Simon St.Laurent http://simonstl.com/
